I don't think if you would have asked me what I would be doing today back in the summer of 2008 I could have predicted any of this. In September of 2009 I was at the sewing expo in Novi, Michigan. Mostly I hung out at the PatternReview.com booth but I did my fair share of touring around. I met some really great people and throughly enjoyed myself. Well.... it just so happened.... Islander Sewing System was coming out with a new pattern and since they had the photographer on site they decided to shoot the pattern photos at the show. Oh you know where this is going huh?

Overall I think this is pretty cool being forever remembered for modeling the Baha #214. I don't remember what they were asking us to do in this photo but it might have been look "mean" or "tough". hehe I just noticed also that I'm wearing a black t-shirt under my Baja. Interesting since I remember taking my t-shirt off and second I don't own any black clothing!

Anyway... I think it's fun. You can see another photo from this shoot at the Islander site if you're really that interested. It's in the banner at the top.

Cool! And I might actually buy this one, since I've been looking for a shirt pattern like that for years. (It's hard to find one that's not terribly oversized.) I used to have a favorite pullover in that style. I wore it to death and have been looking for a replacement ever since. (This was before I realized I could make a pattern from an existing garment.)
